The SAVE DATA project – a consortium of MEDVIA, Vito and imec – invites you to Augmenting Health Data Using AI, a free seminar on the opportunities and challenges involved in implementing and sustaining AI applications to secure health data.
We know that AI can significantly enhance the collection and utilization of health data in a variety of ways, including in predictive analytics, remote monitoring, diagnostics and drug development. But there is a lot to consider when applying artificial intelligence to your data, including:
Data quality: High-quality, diverse datasets are essential
Privacy: Data is sensitive and subject to strict privacy regulations
Interoperability: Data is often siloed across different systems and formats
Collaboration: AI developers need to collaborate closely with healthcare professionals
Join SAVE DATA at our upcoming seminar to hear about these challenges and potential solutions.

What is SAVE DATA?
This workshop is hosted by SAVE DATA, one of VLAIO’s Coock projects. SAVE DATA, a collaboration among Vito, imec and MEDVIA, works with companies, non-profits, governments and knowledge institutions to make health pathways – both preventive and curative – more accessible in a safe, ethical and transparent manner.
What is Coock?
Coock stands for Collectief Onderzoek & Ontwikkeling en Collectieve Kennisverspreiding/-transfer, or Collective R&D and Dissemination/Transfer of Knowledge. Funded by VLAIO, Coock projects allow a research institute to share the building blocks of specific technology with industry or public/governmental concerns. The goal of Coock projects is to valorize research results by accelerating the introduction of technology and knowledge to a broad group of companies.
